I'm learning how to do websites in my Ed Tech class, so I made The Sign - Resource. It's a bunch of reasources for learning ASL and Deaf culture.

i know hearing people on this website love to pass around those posts with links to free sign language lessons but you know you need to actually put effort into learning about Deaf culture, too, right?

Learn ASL

These are some online resources, but ASL is a three dimensional language. The best way to learn is in person with a Deaf teacher. Check your local Deaf center for more resources and events. These resources provide a good place to start and build your vocabulary

Lessons, Quizzes, Dictionaries

ASLDeafined.com (Lessons in ASL, Deaf Culture/History, Interpreter information, and Dictionary) This one is $36/year. It's my favorite because it's structured well and asl includes lessons on Deaf culture and historical figures. When I took ASL classes from my local Center of the Deaf, they used this resource to structure the classes.

SigningSavvy.com (ASL Dictionary and beginner's info)

Lifeprint.com (Dictionary and beginner’s info)

aslpro.com (ASL dictionaries; and quizzes)

Videos, News, Vlogs, Podcasts

Watching native signers sign, even if it's above your current level, will help you learn much faster and more naturally

aslized.org (stories, jokes, poems and speeches in ASL)

Sign1News (News stories in ASL. They also have a YouTube channel and app)

The ASL Lab (YouTube channel; goes into depth about specific signs and grammatical structures)

What the Deaf?(podcast by two Deaf women explores different perspectives and challenges. Season 2 focuses on the film industry. You can listen in English and/or watch in ASL)
